Corralejo Tequila

Corralejo was born on a hacienda dating from 1755 in Guanajuato, on the very land where Miguel Hidalgo rose up in 1810 and sparked the Mexican War of Independence. The name is therefore more than a brand – it's a piece of Mexican history distilled in copper stills. Today Corralejo is known for a clean, pure agave character spanning fresh blanco to deep, barrel-aged extra añejo.

  • Bottle of Corralejo Reposado Tequila with golden colour and traditional Mexican label
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280247

    In Guanajuato, where Mexico's independence hero Miguel Hidalgo was born, stands one of the country's most unusual tequila houses. Here the tequila is distilled not twice, but three times, a craft that gives Corralejo Reposado its remarkably soft character.

    Expert Description

    Corralejo Reposado Triple Distilled is a Mexican Reposado Tequila made from 100% agave, triple distilled and bottled at 38%.

    Tequila Corralejo is distilled at Hacienda de Corralejo in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, one of the few tequila houses located outside Jalisco. The hacienda dates back to the 1700s and is the birthplace of Mexican independence hero Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. In 1996, Leonardo Rodríguez Moreno took over the dilapidated hacienda and rebuilt it into the distillery that today ships tequila to more than 100 countries. The agave is cooked in traditional clay ovens before being distilled three times using the so-called Charentais method, a technique borrowed from cognac production, resulting in an unusually soft and clean tequila. After distillation it rests for about four months in a mix of American, French and Mexican oak barrels.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh agave, vanilla and light oak, seasoned with citrus zest and white pepper.

    Palate

    Soft and rounded with sweet, cooked agave, caramel and toasted oak, finished with a touch of butterscotch.

    Finish

    Medium length, warm and gently spiced, with an earthy, herbal close.

    Expert Description

    Corralejo Añejo Tequila is a Mexican Añejo Tequila made from 100% agave and bottled at 38%.

    Item no.: 22227865479-8390

    Blanco is where it all begins for Corralejo — before the barrels, before the ageing, just the pure must from Guanajuato's agave fields, poured straight into the glass.

    Expert Description

    Corralejo Tequila Blanco is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave and bottled at 38%.

    The tequila comes from Hacienda Corralejo in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, where distilling dates back to the 1770s, while the Corralejo brand itself was established in 1996. Blanco is the very soul of Corralejo's tequilas, since this expression forms the foundation for all its other releases. It's double distilled and bottled shortly after distillation, with no cask ageing, preserving the full, clean agave character.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Raw agave with intense notes of citrus and herbs.

    Palate

    A fine balance between raw and distilled agave, with clear citrus, herbs and a touch of black pepper.
